Subject: Flood of 1927
The great flood of the Mississippi River in 1927 is memorialized in this song, and also forms the backdrop of William Faulkner's short story "Old Man." The flood left a lasting impression of those who went through it. My father was 20 months old when the levee broke at Greenville Mississippi on April 24 1927, and the flood and chaos of escaping it were his earliest memories.
